Abolish the Death Penalty in Kentucky

The Catholic Conference of Kentucky needs your help to abolish the death penalty in KY.

The House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing (likely on March 9) to discuss Rep. David Floyd’s bill to abolish the death penalty in Kentucky: HB203. This is a BIG DEAL. It is the first time since 1976 that a bill to abolish the death penalty is being given a hearing and a vote during a legislative session.

We need 10 votes in the committee to move HB 203 to the floor of the House for a full debate and vote. Your help is needed to secure these 10 votes.

Helping is easy. Call one of these toll free numbers, 1.800.372.7181 or Espanol: 1.866.840-2835, which are answered by live operators from early morning until 11pm Monday through Thursday and until 5 pm on Fridays.

Ask the operator to deliver the following message to ALL members of the HOUSE JUDICIARY committee:

I am calling to urge you to vote YES in committee for HB 203 which will repeal the death penalty. I support repeal of the death penalty because -----AND THEN GIVE A BRIEF REASON WHY YOU SUPPORT REPEAL. I thank you for giving my thoughts consideration.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Faithful Citizenship!
